Karate Kid
Hot shot karate champ Johnny Lawrence getting eliminated by that illegal crane kick from the punk Daniel Laruss. Not only did he spend the whole film getting abused by his sociopathic coach John Kreese but being defeated by an illegal move was just too much. Watch Cobra Kai, you'll see that Lawrence was always the good guy.
I was eight when I first saw it. I didn't quite get it when he went to his old house and remembered his old life.Robocop was surprisingly sad in retrospect. Refund the police and shit.
true but I didn't expect him to kill everyone else then the military right afterwords
Of all people, I thought Eminem had the real gut punch line of the movie.Funny People was surprisingly sad, IMO
I get that but I also got a sense of happiness from it. The world of sports is brutal where you get cast off the second someone can do your job better than you can. All these guys were thrown away and lived every day wishing they could experience it again. They got that second chance. The ending song is so perfect for the movie. They got to live their dream even if it was for just one dayProject X : the ending was brutal as a kid.
Something kind out out of the box was the movie The Replacements. That speech by Hackman at the end going on about how these guys were going to go back to their boring lives / jobs, for whatever reason, always stuck with me and made my eyes watery. Something about being so important and then being tossed in the shit can...I don't know, fun movie, but definitely got me feeling like there were some onions being diced in my vicinity.

That’s why movies are great. Just like earlier in this thread when some said that Cast Away was really depressing but I see it as an uplifting message of hope and perseveranceYou're totally correct as well, but for me that speech just impacts me in a different way. Kind of cool that a single speech in a goofy movie can convey two very different messages depending on the disposition of the viewer.
